I very much doubt Hook (or Locky) would want to make drastic changes to the defensive structure like that. Besides, on kick returns or bombs he'd then be at the mercy of the kick chase team. Probably worse than the front line, although obviously less often.

I must admit i also thought about this ..... but deemed it too unsettling to the team.
The best course of action would be for Locky to jusy not play if he's going to be a liability .... as unimaginable as it sounds
Probably nobody, but they didn't want to travel overseas without a backup :P
well played sir, well played

So lucky will be heading off for his drive to Sydney soon. Isn't there a train he could catch??

How was your sleep in the cave? :P
I didn't realize helicopters could fly @ 250kph! Cool!
Remember Round 12 without Locky, Hodges, Thaiday (and if I recall, Te'o went down?). We were on top in the first half and but for a run away in the end by Manly we were very competitive.
Three weeks ago we were in 3rd gear against a largely unchanged Manly pack.
The trick to this game will be Brisbane absolutely smashing Manly all night. The key difference will be us getting on top of Foran and DCE and McCullough and Wallace using smart 5th tackle kicking options.
Locky back for the GF!! Bring on the Storm.
The flipside is that I'm PO'd that for the 3rd final series in a row we've had a key injury.
It's a perfect platform for the 2012+. Locky, he's brought you so far, now it's your turn to take responsibility for your own destiny.

as posted in the other thread i've got full faith in the TEAM we have. after getting over that lockyer won't play i really we are a real good chance of winning.
Of course we are. Motivation won't be a problem. Commitment won't be a problem. Attitude won't be a problem. And we know the 17 guys that play will all do their jobs well. If they play like they did last week, there's no reason at all they can't win.
